As those of you who subscribe to my Narnian blog will know already, I love this ancient homily for Holy Saturday, so I thought I’d post the whole thing here. What is happening? Today there is a great silence over the earth, a great silence, and stillness, a great silence because the King sleeps; the earth was in terror and was still, because God slept in the flesh and raised up those who were sleeping from the ages. God has died in the flesh, and the underworld has trembled.
